Bally Auluk – Usdaw national officer says: “We were aware that the board has been running a review of the structure of ABF and a demerger of Primark was an option. Now their intention has been confirmed, we are seeking urgent talks with Primark to understand what this possible separation will mean for our members. We urge the business to fully consult with Usdaw, and we will ensure that our members receive the support, advice and representation they need throughout this process.”
